Elektra Joins Marvel Heroes Omega on Consoles as the Defenders Event is Underway

By Jeff Francis

One of Marvel's deadliest assassins is making her way to consoles. The Marvel Heroes Omega Elektra playable hero is now available for the Xbox One and PlayStation 4. The love interest of Daredevil is voiced in the mmo by Kat Cressida and is the 41st playable character overall. Gamers can currently pick her up in the PlayStation Store and Xbox Marketplace, or they can wait until September 25th when they can snag her with Eternity Splinters. Elektra comes in her classic red costume and with her Daredevil Season 2 costume.

The official Marvel Heroes Omega Elektra bio page reads, "A highly skilled and trained assassin, Elektra’s primary weapons are her deadly twin sais, although she is proficient with the katana, three-sectioned-staff and other martial arts weapons. Her Hero pack includes Elektra in her default Classic costume as well as her costume inspired by her look in season 2 of Marvel’s Daredevil, only on Netflix.

From a young age, Elektra Natchios trained in the martial arts well into her adulthood. But when Elektra’s farther—a Greek Ambassador—was killed in a terrorist abduction gone horribly wrong, she was convinced that the law had failed her. She then traveled afar to Japan to perfect her combat skills; taking matters into her own hands. Taught by both the ancient Chaste order and notorious Hand organization, she would later return home as an infamous assassin at the top of her game.

Being the best of the best, Elektra’s clients include a large variety of the world’s elite—from S.H.I.EL.D. to Kingpin. Yet, she continuously crosses paths with her old college flame, Matt Murdock and his alter ego Daredevil. Elektra’s adventures have led her far, wide, and back again. But this time the price is right, and she’s here to get the job done."

In addition to the new Marvel Heroes Omega Elektra playable character, console players can dive into the Defenders event that is currently underway. The free mmo is celebrating the launch of The Defenders on Netflix wherein Luke Cage, Iron Fist, Jessica Jones, and Daredevil finally team up. Players can help take down The Hand and earn some sweet swag.
